things you didn’t want to know about birds that you’re going to know now

• birds urinate, defecate, and have intercourse through the same opening (the cloaca)
• birds have tongue bones
• some birds, like pelicans and seagulls, eat their prey whole
• when threatened, some vultures vomit up their last meal
• some birds keep cool using urohydrosis – defecating on their legs to cool down
• some species of birds cannibalize their dead (or living)
• crows have been found to participate in necrophilia
• herons can generate enough force to put their beak through a skull
• cassowaries have a long claw shaped more like a spear that is used for stabbing – a cassowary once killed a human this way
• crows can pass on information to the next generation of crows
• pigeons understand some concepts of space and time

Mmmmm dont like that
